Two forces are applied to a 5.0-kg crate; one is 3.0 n to the north and the other is 4.0 n to the east. the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate is: a. 1.0 m/s^2 b. 2.8 m/s^2 c.7.5 m/s^2 d. 10.0 m/s^2

The acceleration of the crate is 1 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 5 kg

Two forces applied on the crate i.e. one is 3.0 N to the north and the other is 4.0 N to the east. So, there resultant force is :

We need to find the acceleration of the crate. It is given by using the second law of motion as :

a = 1 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the crate is 1 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.  

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
